transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 7
Gene Summary
TRPC7 is thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. TRPC7 probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. It is activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) and may also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion.
